Stop Buying Titan Kills

[Taruranto]

Free Company / Friends will most likely teach their member about the fight so they know how to do it and other boss mechanics.

No, not really.

yeah...SE should remove the ifrit stun...I dont know why ifrit is the only one suffer that stun mechanic....they can add another method to gain LB though

I just want a list of the players in my server who bought "Titan Kills", so I can avoid party with them.

Actually, if the person is experiencing heavy lag (as most EU players do) then a carry may be the only option. I managed to get my BLM relic by dodging plumes before they even appear. If I were to wait for one to be visible, I would be hit by it no matter my reaction time.

Please read before replying. Clearly mentioned network issues as a factor. If these make it impossible for you then a carry is absolutely reasonable.

Just please don't keep trying with groups you'll only make it harder for.

so basically your saying if you have latency issues due to SE bad delay and coding issues, dont bother trying to do titan, unless you want to buy a win?

If these things are making it impossible for you to dodge, then yes. Why should a group trying their hardest without these issues have to carry you?

It's unfortunate for you, but you can't expect public groups to take he strain.

Either ask your FC to carry you through, buy a carry, or try to find a shout group willing to attempt it with 7 players.

I kinda wish that the group makeup on the DF was a bit different, the second tank seems like a waste. Yes, yes get groups in shout, I do that too, but there arent always enough people around to do that.

More annoying than people who buy titan runs are the people who open a titan group making some ridiculous requierements and don't even have the gear themselves they want their party members to have.

I hear that

I was actually in a group where my gear was criticized, while the summoner who still had 2 x AF pieces, a few WP and white accesories and he was never mentioned. He was probably a FC member with the leader if I had to make a guess.

I did read. Your advice to those people is to be patient and wait. I would have to ask, wait for what? an EU data centre?

If you're tired, if you're experiencing network issues for real, if there is some reason you're not playing at your most optimal and may bring a group down please be patient and wait. You're making it frustrating for those who are focused, and making the entire process more drawn out than it needs to be.

It smacks of 'So sorry you're having issues that make Titan much harder for you than it is for the rest of us, but don't join my party or I will kick you."

Understanding the fight, gearing well and remaining focused isn't enough for a substantial portion of the playerbase. It doesn't matter how long they wait, it won't bring the data centre closer at all and it won't reduce the 0.3s position update. There are people who need to get a carry to get past this stage.

Wait...

I've not said getting carried is bad. Pay for one if you need to. There is nothing wrong with it if you really cannot engage with the content due to technical issues.

Just please don't join public groups expecting other people struggling to beat Titan to carry you. Users who don't have the problems shouldn't have to struggle trying to carry you, maybe to the point they give up and pay for a carry themselves.

I meant wait till you find willing players to carry you, btw.
